Documentation for Faxprint.pl (Version 0.9b 9/18/2002)

The faxprint perl script was written to generate the correct FCL language
document for the Brother FCL compatible MFC machines.  It is assumed
that all features of the have been setup correctly and the MFC is connected
to the phone line.  What I mean by correctly setup is that the local name,
local phone, ... etc have already been setup in the printer.  It is also
assumed that the fax header page has been included in the file that will
be faxed.

Note: Efix and associated programs need to be installed for this script to work.

This script was written primarly for the KDE 'send a fax' program.  It is possible
to use this script as a command line fax sender.

Command format:
faxprint.pl -t phone number -f file -d device

	-t
		Option for the phone number.  The number must be typed as one
		number with no dashes or spaces
	-f
		File name of the document to be faxed.  Currently this has been
		tested with postscript files.
	-d
		The device port where the output will be sent.  This is the same
		port as where the printer is setup.

example:

faxprint.pl -t 123456 -f test -d /dev/usb/lp0

To use this command in KDE (Send a Fax program), you need
to include the command
'faxprint.pl -t %number -f %files -d /dev/usb/lp0'
in the 'Use EFax System' Dialogue box under the
'Fax System Selection' window.  Make sure that you change the
device to match the printer port of the MFC on your system.
When you print your faxes, the 'Send a Fax' program should
launch with the file that will be faxed.  Just type in the phone number
in the box with a fake name and start faxing.

There are several limitations that this script contains.  The first limitation is the
fact that even though we have a broadcast enabled MFC, there is no way for
the script to take in multiple numbers.  The second limitation is that there is no
way to send multpile files either.  Both of these limitations are fairly easy to fix
and will probably be included in the next version of the script.  Another problem
is that there is no way to pool the MFC for status of the fax.  The MFC seems to
only be able to accept fax job but not return status on them.
